Under the influence of "Ore Vein Perception".

Roger discovered a vast amount of Evil Ghost Ore hidden in this place— Evil Ghost Ore containing an astonishing number of Evil Ghost Essence.

He had never figured out the purpose of this thing before.

But at this very moment...

Roger's overwhelming Sixth Sense made him realize something.

He pondered for a moment.

He used his Gold Silver Hands specialization to carve a piece of Evil Ghost Essence out of the stone wall.

It was at this moment.

This message flashed across the data panel.

"Hint: Your Cognition Count has increased thanks to the Forging Authority Rank."

"Evil Ghost Essence: A forging material that can be used to improve weapon quality"

"This thing is actually a blacksmithing material!"

Roger was overjoyed.

He activated his Qi Divination Technique and repeatedly rubbed the essence with both hands.

Not long after.

The Qi Divination Technique, which enhanced the Cognition Count of the Forging Authority Rank, then returned more information—

In the field of forging.

The purpose of the Evil Ghost Essence is to improve the attributes of weapons in all aspects.

If a Transcendent Weapon with upgrade potential is forged with a large amount of Evil Ghost Essence, not only will its attributes receive an incredible boost, but it also has a chance to break through the quality barrier and become a truly upgraded weapon!

Roger did an estimate.

Take the Red Moon as an example.

It takes about 10,000 Evil Ghost Essence to upgrade it.

And in this process.

Every 1000 Soul Essences also provides 1 Weapon Point.

These weapon points can be freely allocated to the Red Moon's base attributes.

Sharp, tough, durable...

Any attribute is acceptable!

As long as Roger has enough Evil Ghost Essence.

He could totally build a miniature artifact!

"Anything made by the evil spirit is top-notch!"

See here.

Roger was overjoyed, but he restrained his impulse and instead patiently began to study it.

Evil Ghost Ore are copper and iron mines contaminated by evil spirits.

It is estimated to be an accidental result of the red leaves polluting the crows and sentries.

Interestingly...

Roger noticed that the Evil Ghost Raven seemed to feed on Evil Ghost Ore.

Without being instructed by anyone.

They would instinctively linger near the Evil Ghost Ore —this gave Roger three crucial clues!...

Firstly.

He can use the Evil Ghost Ore to find Evil Ghost Raven! He now possesses "Ore Vein Perception".

Searching for Evil Ghost Ore is not difficult.

In this way...

The problem that had been troubling him for days was instantly solved.

Secondly.

Normal crows are not interested in Evil Ghost Ore.

Therefore, they remained near the Evil Ghost Ore.

It must be Evil Ghost Raven!

Roger didn't even need to use the lens.

Thirdly.

Since the Evil Ghost Raven feed on Evil Ghost Ore, they ingest a large amount of copper and iron metal along with a large amount of essence.

In that case...

The last problem hindering Roger's hunt has also been solved!

He had not taken any action against the Evil Ghost Raven until now.

Actually, they were thinking about how to catch a whole flock of agile birds in one fell swoop.

After much deliberation, he concluded that the best solution was still the "Dragon-Catching Ballista" of his tough-guy underlings.

But now.

One Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Sword is enough!...

Thinking about this...

Roger casually waved his hand, Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Sword split into eight! Enveloped by a vast amount of vital energy...

Eight sword lights flew into the flock of crows like eagles soaring through the sky.

In this cramped and narrow circular passageway.

The Evil Ghost Raven had little room to hide.

The next second.

The area around the eight sword lights showed obvious distortion!

Special Effects: Super Magnetism!...

Suddenly.

All the Evil Ghost Raven were involuntarily drawn towards the sword light.

Sizzle! The sword light flashed like a dragon stirring up the sea, slicing through the flock of crows.

In a short time.

Electric snakes danced wildly.

Black feathers fluttered down.

Roger didn't even need to Tearing Rune; he cleared the area with ease!

"You have killed 624 Evil Ghost Raven, bringing your total number of Evil Ghost Raven killed to 706."

"Your base Job Levels cap has been slightly increased (currently +1)."

Above the arched dome.

Cindy and her fairies came out to greet the guests.

That's why they say everyone has their own expertise. Roger watched as the corpses of over six hundred crows fell from above, but thanks to Cindy and the others, not a single feather touched the ground! Three breaths later.

The flock of crows, along with their corpses and feathers, all entered the Xia Yin Realm.

Even Roger couldn't help but admire it.

He glanced at the progress bar with a cheerful expression and did a quick calculation.

The conclusion is that 500 Evil Ghost Raven can raise the basic Job Levels cap by 1.

As it stands now.

The road to eradicating crows remains long and arduous.

But Roger wasn't in a hurry.

He immediately used Earth Escape is a technique that allows one to escape through earth), slowly sinking into the stone wall. Then, finding an angle, he stuck out his rear end and started digging wildly into the Evil Ghost Ore!...

"Barehanded Digging: You have obtained 3 Evil Ghost Essence"

"You have obtained 11 Cloud Copper Mine"

"You have obtained the remains of the Beauty Snake *1"

Time passed little by little in this tedious and boring digging.

It has to be said.

Roger can easily reach a state of complete absorption when he is focused on something.

The same applies to monster hunting.

The same applies to mining.

So much so that he didn't notice the warnings on the data bar that were quickly being flooded with mining information.

"Warning: Your servant ' Diana ' has officially declared war on the Jungle Country."

"Warning: Your servant ' Diana ' has officially declared war on the Gem Country."

"Warning: Your servant ' Diana ' has officially declared war on the Ear-Cutting Clan."

The events unfolding in the Chaotic Lands have no immediate impact on the noble king, who is focused on mining.

Three days later.

Roger, having emptied the nearby Evil Ghost Ore in one go, returned to the Jade Phoenix Nest looking disheveled.

After a quick wash.

He found Sonsonia, who was recuperating.

"Are you ready?"

Roger asked with a smile.

Sonsonia looked a little nervous. She clenched her small fist and nodded seriously.

Roger didn't waste any words at that moment.

He took out the "Chronos Grimoire" from the Tinder Pouch.

They also had Temporary Worker bring in more than a ton of Ether Powder.

Then the spell was quickly channeled out—

"Super Long-Distance Teleportation: Mystra"

In the blink of an eye.

A large amount of Ether Powder was consumed.

A thin Teleportation Gate slowly appeared before the two of them.

For a fleeting moment.

Roger even had an urge to crawl inside himself!

After all, I've been away from Mi Star for quite some time.

He still misses Mystra's brothers and sisters very much...

But he still suppressed his longing and nodded to Sonsonia:

"Remember our code."

"If you encounter an insurmountable problem, keep your health at 51.36%."

"If we resolve the predicament of the Clear Spring Sect, we will keep the life value at 66.66%."

"Refer to this table for other codes..."

As he spoke.

He handed the newly compiled code list to the other party.

Sonsonia carefully put it away.

Interplanetary communication is indeed a very difficult thing, and he has no way to develop Sonsonia into a backup plan for Asgard.

After sending her there.

All Roger could see was her health percentage.

And it's accurate to two decimal places.

This gave Sonsonia room to convey her message.

As an ascendant.

Precisely controlling one's health points is not a difficult problem.

In this matter...

Roger felt that he had handled the situation perfectly.

Based on Mystra's combat strength...

Sonsonia, as an Ascended Being, should have been able to handle it, after all, not everyone on Mi Star has 100% Fear Resistance...

If all else fails...

Isn't there a secret code? This thought struck me.

He decisively sent Sonsonia into the Teleportation Gate.

She not only had the newly acquired code word list, but also a detailed map of the vicinity of Gem City.

Interplanetary teleportation will inevitably have some degree of error.

But with this blueprint...

Roger believed she would arrive at the Clear Spring Sect safely.

Inside the rainbow tunnel.

Sonsonia's anxious feelings gradually calmed down.

As an ascendant.

She felt ashamed of her behavior.

But in front of Roger.

She was indeed constantly dominated by fear.

That unforgettable intimate encounter always lingered in her mind.

After that slam.

She suffers from severe "physical contact phobia".

Any form of touch would make her feel intensely uncomfortable.

The body will also experience many adverse reactions.

Fortunately, there were no people to be seen in the Jade Phoenix Nest.

Sonsonia was able to retain her dignity to the end.

"It's fine."

"The world can't be full of freaks."

"My master said that Ascended beings in Mystra are almost extinct. I used to be the supreme being of the planet!"

"I am invincible!"

The Devil Lord silently cheered himself up.

In the blink of an eye.

The rainbow passage then came to an end.

Just thinking about crossing that portal of light in front of me...

A new world where I am the only one is right before my eyes.

Sonsonia's mood also brightened.

The next second.

The seven colors faded.

She stepped into a wet puddle.

A faint, pungent smell wafted over.

What does it taste like?

Sonsonia took a deep breath instinctively.

In an instant.

An excruciating pain spread throughout her entire body! Her lower abdomen and chest were wracked with excruciating pain! Blood was also seeping from her eyes!

The skin was so ulcerated that it was oozing pus! "This..."

"It's Mystra?"

Looking at the vast expanse of fog in front of me.

Sonsonia's heart sank to the bottom.

"Friendly Cooperation Contract: Sonsonia's HP reduced to 66.66%"

"It was resolved so quickly?"

Roger was taken aback.

But the next second...

Sonsonia's health bar dropped a little more in the status bar.

"Sonsonia: 51.36%"

"Huh? It can't be solved again?"

Roger was stunned.

Immediately afterwards.

"Friendly Cooperation Contract: Sonsonia has entered Near-Death State..."

"Can anyone tell me what happened?!"

Roger fainted.

Even with his exceptional intelligence, he couldn't figure out what Sonsonia was up to! A long time passed.

He then saw that Sonsonia had escaped her Near-Death State, and her health points were slowly recovering.

"Is she testing the code word list?"

Roger couldn't help but have some doubts.

Fortunately, after a while...

Sonsonia's health remained at 81.81% for a long time.

Was it an accident?

Roger scratched his head. "What kind of accident near Gem City could bring an Ascended to the brink of death?"

He thought about it for a long time.

He vaguely remembered that there was a place near the Southern Tomb Wilderness that even he dared not set foot in.

Roger even reached a "Spraying Warrior" milestone there.

That is the Poisonous Mist Land of the Southern Tomb Wilderness!

"That poison gas is really potent."

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that Sonsonia had landed safely.

He walked and pondered:

"If only I could master the Poisonous Fiend technique."

It just so happens to be at this moment.

He walked to a deep pit at the edge of the Xia Yin Realm.

The pit was filled with a dark green liquid.

Roger took off his clothes.

He leaped in.

The splashes were as beautiful as ever.

"Refining Poison into Evil: You have begun the 49th day of poison refining..."

Two hours later.

Roger crawled out of the pool of toxins, his skin a vibrant green.

The hard work of the past month has finally paid off today.

On the data panel.

"Refining Poison into Evil: You have successfully refined ' Madola's Tears ' into your own poisonous evil, and you have obtained ' Madola Poison Evil '."

"Hint: You have gained a new feat from ' Madola Poison Evil ' - Mushroom King"

"Mushroom King: You can extract the poison from the body and turn it into Poison Mushroom that can be placed outside the body."

Within 30 kilometers, you can share the vision of Poison Mushroom;

You can control a maximum of 9 Poison Mushroom at the same time;

Any life that picks or tramples on Poison Mushroom will suffer toxin damage equivalent to 300% of the power of Madora's Tears;..."

"Great skill!"

"It's just that the name 'Madola Poison Evil' doesn't sound good..."

"Let's just call it ' Blinding Poison Evil '!"

Roger chuckled as he dried off the green body.

After dressing, he left the Xia Yin Realm and followed the Evil Ghost Ore to a place where crows gathered.

The next second.

He quietly released bursts of malevolent energy.

I'll update first and then revise. If there are any typos or other errors, I'll fix them before midnight. Feel free to point them out. There will be more tonight, but I don't know how late. I suddenly realized it's the end of the month today, so please vote with your monthly tickets if you have any. Thank you for your support.
